Barracuda announced the availability of its cloud solutions on AWS GovCloud (US), an isolated AWS Region designed to allow US government agencies, nonprofits and educational institutions, and private sector companies with stringent regulatory and compliance requirements to move sensitive workloads and data to the cloud.

In conjunction with AWS re:Invent 2015 happening this week in Las Vegas, Barracuda today announced the availability of Barracuda NG Firewall, Barracuda Message Archiver, Barracuda Spam Firewall, Barracuda Load Balancer ADC, and Barracuda Web Application Firewall on AWS GovCloud (US), an isolated AWS Region designed to allow US government agencies, nonprofits and educational institutions, and private sector companies with stringent regulatory and compliance requirements to move sensitive workloads and data to the cloud. Barracuda now offers cloud solutions on AWS GovCloud (US) to help customers protect their mission critical workloads.

“Addressing customer needs as they look to the public cloud is a focus area for Barracuda, and this announcement is yet another example of that commitment,” said Nicole Napiltonia, VP Strategic Alliances, Barracuda. “Barracuda remains closely aligned with AWS to provide customers added security for their AWS deployments, and the new AWS GovCloud (US) availability extends that to those organizations with more stringent security requirements.”

Demonstrated Barracuda and AWS Success
“Iris is expanding rapidly, and like many organizations, our IT staff constantly is strained with limited resources but growing requirements,” explained Kareem Bikhit, CFO, Iris. “Barracuda Web Application Firewall in AWS Marketplace gives us the flexibility and security we require. It’s simple to setup and manage, and offers security without requiring an army of administrators to monitor and manage deployments as we continue to scale. With the Barracuda Web Application Firewall in AWS Marketplace, we are able to maintain a highly scalable and secure infrastructure that gives us the peace of mind to focus on our business.”

“Security is of paramount importance to AWS and our customers, particularly those government agencies and private sector customers with strict regulatory and compliance requirements,” said Teresa Carlson, Vice President Worldwide Public Sector, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Having Barracuda Networks’ leading security products available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region will help further secure our customers’ most sensitive workloads on AWS.”
